Pic: Galway Gardaí push clapped out patrol car back to HQ

Looks like the Gardaí out West are stuck for a few quid after this pic of three guards pushing a car back to the station was snapped in Tuam.

We all know that times are tough in the Gardaí Síochána right now, but we didn’t know how bad it was until we saw this snap of three officers pushing a car back to the station in Tuam, Co. Galway. Seeing as it’s a 2012 car, we’re going to assume/hope it ran out of fuel. Here’s what JOE reader Brendan had to say: “An embarrassing moment for the Gardai on the N17 in Tuam having to push the patrol car back to the station! Have the cut backs affecting the Gardai got so tough they can't afford petrol? The Saw Doctors might add in a new verse to The N17 now after seeing this!” Thanks to Brendan for sending the pic our way...
